Report No.21

Trains are running most weekends.
No track added yet.
Working to make another video.
More details Added.

New Engine


Added a Bachmann Heisler to the roundhouse as Sierra Ry No.9. See details on the refit in


Marble Spur






Scratch built a stiff leg derrick, fake marble blocks and slabs for the Marble Spur. Base for derrick is real marble from one of the quarries in Columbia.
Made a removable block flat load. All flats have a magnet to hold it in place.

Patterson Mine



Bashed a small coal tower for an ore shoot at Patterson Mine.

New Buildings




Dave Connery gave me some nice houses from his now decomissioned South West Side Lumber Co. Top one is next to Peppermint Creek. Another at Tuttletown.

Tuttletown


Finally added the station sign to the Tuttletown shed. Reworked a Bachmann hand cart on right.

Saloon


Back behind the Sierra Ry. General Office was a saloon. I had a Rite Aide birdhouse that works with a name change from General Store to Saloon.
